And I honestly thought it was a joke. </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>[Carlson] </b>They didn't wonder if UFOs were real. They knew at that point. Right?</span><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>[Nolan]</b> Right. </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;">They were deadly serious about it, because they had basically said at that point, people have died …and then they showed me some brain images of individuals who had been damaged, and internal scarring you can see through MRIs. </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>[Carlson] </b>So for some context, who were these people who had been injured? </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>[Nolan]</b> Oh, they were military personnel, people, intelligence agents on the ground. A pilot - a few pilots, actually, who had gotten close enough… to some sort of object-- one of them on the ground as well, walked right up to it and touched it. </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>[Carlson]</b> He walked up and touched it? </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>[Nolan] </b>Yeah, he described the object as basically about four or five feet across with strange writing on it. </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">US Congress has said “enough is enough – we want the data” </span></b></span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;">[Nolan] …the Senate Intelligence Committee just came out with a report this morning… It also has language about UAPs, and basically admonishing the Defense Department, saying you guys have been dragging your feet, no more - whistle-blower language. They actually… want to go all the way back to 1947… they want the Defense Department and the CIA, et cetera, to collect all the information around events that have occurred. </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;">They want all of, interestingly, the NDAs, the nondisclosure agreements. They want those all listed, because the NDAs are associated to people, and that means they can start to name the people who have been involved. </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;">They want all of the information on the disinformation and the obfuscation that's been going on. </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;">And they want information about the medical harms that have occurred. </span><br /><br />And that's all in the National Defense Appropriations Act for 2023…<br /><br />And that's part of what the announcement today was all about, this idea that Congress has said, enough is enough. We want the data. You're not going to hide this anymore. We're going to give anybody in the entire DOD and intelligence community a secure channel by which you can actually report this. You can basically set aside the NDAs or oaths that you've given, because you're basically reporting to us. And it will be given to the Senate and the Congressional leadership…<br /><br /> And this is the first time ever that this has been done.<br /><div><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhumi4HuzLd5fIL992onwoyrjmOUwvM_yTbJeyvr5QyBWPK8VzgruUgwMnJc7lefRYW0hIyICmWUBk9Xq6nsc-RWiGobdJw5loIDZWneA9lvByRYYhgqmJANxZZZGw1eJdoASWPSyo3hTdLT-_yfBhi7SeQO3HxujaCCKwwnaLXWtzPq6qe9SeXaeJ1/s2034/IMG_4972.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1148" data-original-width="2034" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhumi4HuzLd5fIL992onwoyrjmOUwvM_yTbJeyvr5QyBWPK8VzgruUgwMnJc7lefRYW0hIyICmWUBk9Xq6nsc-RWiGobdJw5loIDZWneA9lvByRYYhgqmJANxZZZGw1eJdoASWPSyo3hTdLT-_yfBhi7SeQO3HxujaCCKwwnaLXWtzPq6qe9SeXaeJ1/w400-h226/IMG_4972.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Why has the US government lied for so long? </span></b><br /><br /><b>[Carlson] </b>So this is way outside your lane, but since you've had so much experience dealing with all the people involved, maybe you have a theory. Why do you think DOD, or the US government more broadly, has lied about this for so long? <br /><br /><b>[Nolan] </b>So I think that they were just afraid of admitting that they don't have control over the airspace. <br /><br />That's one thing. But also… we have the data, but… they didn't want anybody to know about it, because they're scared of what the reaction might be. <br /><br />But the other point I think that is important to realize is that when... there's claimed crash materials that might have been collected… this went off to places like Lockheed and all of the big aerospace companies. <br /><br />They wanted to profit off of it, and many of them basically took a lot of the information, set it aside, and they decided, OK, we're going to profit off it. We're not going to tell Congress what this is all about, because if we do, then maybe we have to share this with McDonnell Douglas, or someone else. <br /><br />You know… whatever this stuff is, it’s hundreds of technology revolutions ahead of us, and an understanding of physics that we don't appreciate. <br /><br />…another reason why the government might feel a little hesitancy about bringing this kind of information forward… because if the US military is not the most powerful force in the universe, then it kind of… It resets your expectation. Then the populace might revolt. <br /><br /><b>[Carlson]</b> So it sounds like in the world that you live in, it is taken for granted - or just assumed to be true - that this stuff is real. <br /><br /><b>[Nolan]</b> Yes, yeah. It's 100% real. I mean, there's just no doubt about it.<br /><br /><br /><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">Why are aerospace companies interested? </span></b><br /><br /><b>[Carlson] </b>So why would the aerospace company… be interested in finding, along with the CIA, the answers to these questions?<br /><br /><b>[Nolan] </b>Technology. I mean, you've seen the reports on how these things move, 0 to 5,000 miles an hour, instantaneous acceleration and deceleration, trans medium travel - air to water… We can't do any of that. We just can't. And moreover, we don't know how it's done. And so that means that there's a level of physics that can be appreciated and maybe taken advantage of. <br /><br /><b>[Nolan]</b> You have to imagine a new kinds of physics. But interestingly, the physicists have come up with a unifying - let's say, mathematics - for what these things might be doing, and how they're doing it.<br /><br /> … there's actually a Mexican physicist. He has worked out the equations for a warp drive. I mean, we can't do it. The amounts of energy required are extraordinary. It's called the Alcubierre drive. But then there's a number of other individuals who have then taken his equations and shown that, yeah, that actually explains how these things might be moving.</div><div><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><hr style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;" /><br style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;" /><div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;"></div></span></div><div><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Where are these objects coming from?</span></span></b></p></span><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>[Carlson] </b>So without putting your professional credibility, reputation on the line… you're around people who study this stuff for a living, who are the most knowledgeable people on this topic in the world. What is their general sense of what this might be? </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>[Nolan]</b> That this is not from Earth… </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>[Carlson]</b> So is the general belief that these objects, these - whatever this is - is coming from outside our atmosphere, or that it's coming from beneath the oceans? </span></div><div><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>[Nolan] </b>Both, I think. </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;"> So the next question is, well, if they've been here all along, before we were even civilized - well, whose planet is this really? …if you go back into the historical records, things written by the scientists and philosophers and mayors and kings of the day, you know, it's in the record. </span></div><div><span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 107%;">This object was seen, it looked like a wheel or it looked like a shield, and it showed up over our battles, and-- et cetera, et cetera.

altered reality into people’s minds</span></span></b></p>
</span></span><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>[Nolan] </b>There's a great case. It's in France. This family - this is just within the last few years - driving down the highway, a mother and two children in the back. They have an open top car during the day, a crowded highway. They see over their head, through the window, a craft. I mean, it's obvious. </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;">And then she's looking around, the mother's looking around… and noticing that nobody else seems to see this. So the kids in the back have a camera phone, take a picture. When they get home, they take a look at the picture. There's not a craft, but there's an object, a small, sort of star shaped object about 30 or 40 feet over their car. </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;">So… let's say that that's the object, but it projected an image of something else, and yet that's all they saw. So what happened - it's sort of like… it was a projected, 3D image of something, but it was only seen by them. </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;"> So when you start to hear many of these cases, and Jacques Vallée talks about this a lot, that whatever these things are seem to have the ability to project altered reality into people's minds.</span></div><div><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><hr style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;" /></span></span></span></div><br /><b><span style="color: #ffa400;">What kind of beings are in these craft? </span></b><br /><br /><b>[Carlson] </b>Just to backtrack, I can't believe you're in your office at Stanford, and the CIA shows up… Did any of the people you interviewed see anybody in control of these craft… <br /><br /><b>[Nolan]</b> Not in the injury cases.

And so through the efforts of Lue Elizondo, and Chris Mellon, and many others on the inside - that unfortunately will not ever be known in the roles that they've played to bring this forward - they have given a level of credibility to this that has opened the area up for all kinds of people to move in. </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;">I mean, the National Association of Aerospace Engineers now has a committee on this. It's a 50,000 strong or so union of scientists… </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;">NASA has come out and said that they're studying it… They're saying this is worth study. </span><br /><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;">And they use the same language that we've been pushing.

The left hand side represents statements made in a <a href="https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/Prelimary-Assessment-UAP-20210625.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">2021 report by US National Intelligence</a> while the right hand side has statements made in an archived <a href="https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ViewImage.aspx?B=30030606&S=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">1971 report by Australian Intelligence</a> which is publicly available through National Archives Australia or <a href="https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Black Vault</a>.<p></p><p>The striking similarity between public UAP/UFO statements made 50 years apart makes one wonder if the underlying beliefs and agenda are still the same.</p><p>While the short public unclassified 2021 report doesn't explicitly unpack all those beliefs and agenda the 1971 report does so in some detail which may lead to helpful insights when interpreting today's 'Disclosure' environment.</p><p>Let's examine the underlying processes, beliefs and agenda considered in the 1971 report for each of the types of statement listed in the above table. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">UAPs/UFOs are real and need further study</span></p><p><b>Processes/Beliefs/Agenda:</b> Official US investigations as early as 1947 believed that some reported UFO phenomena were real, and initially Soviet advanced aircraft were suspected. Further study was called for which was publicly stated to be for the collection and analysis of more UFO incidents while for some government agencies it was more about determining UFO propulsion methods. Considerable funds were later allocated to investigate and control gravity through six Gravity Control Centres.</p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">We don't know what they are?</span></p><p><b>Processes/</b><b>Beliefs/Agenda:</b> While initially suspecting Soviet advanced aircraft, by 1948 most US investigators were focussing on an interplanetary origin. The Pentagon rejected any interplanetary conclusions due to a lack of hard evidence. In 1949 US Intelligence recommended placing more effort on collecting factual evidence that included photographs, radar, physical evidence and data on size and shape, rather than recording, analysing and evaluating all UFO incident reports. </p><p>During the 1950s several recently retired US Intelligence Officers repeatedly stated that it was already known that some UFOs were extraterrestrial. In 1960 it became an offence under the Espionage Act for retired service personnel to reveal data on UFOs.</p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">UAPs/UFOs are a threat to national security</span></p><p><b>Processes/Beliefs/Agenda: </b>UFOs being a threat to national security was often expressed although this view wasn't universally accepted. UFO data collection became classified and attempts were made to discredit any acceptance of UFOs. During 1949 official investigating personnel were replaced <i>"with personnel willing to ridicule the concept of UFOs"</i>. </p><p>In 1953 an intelligence report based on the work of a panel of scientists concluded that there was no direct threat to national security. </p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">There are UAP/UFO safety concerns</span></p><p><b>Processes/Beliefs/Agenda:</b> In 1952 there was a twenty fold rise in reported UFO activity which raised concerns that overcrowded military communications and defence forces involvement lessened the level of national alertness against possible enemy attack. In 2021 the concern expressed about UAP activity in the public report was more about air traffic safety.</p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">We have limited data on UAPs/UFOs</span></p><p><b>Processes/Beliefs/Agenda:</b> Throughout the years of the UFO phenomenon, there has been a persistent official view that the percentage of unknowns would be reduced if more data was available. This is a misleading view since thousands of incident reports were available. By the mid 1950s 900 incident reports were considered to be 'Good' or 'Excellent' and formal reporting procedures were in place for many government agencies. </p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">Scope: Narrow</span></p><p><b>Processes/Beliefs/Agenda:</b> In the past formal public reports on UAP/UFOs narrowed the range of incident reporting years that were considered to reduce the perceived number of unknowns <i>"no matter how senseless the identification became"</i>. This was more about a process of managing public perceptions than honest reporting. During 1953 the purpose of Project Blue Book was changed to be <i>"a means of publicly "debunking" UFOs"</i>.</p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">Natural explanations are most likely</span></p><p><b>Processes/Beliefs/Agenda:</b> Many UFO incidents can be attributed to natural phenomena however this fact has been deliberately over emphasised to imply that most UFO incidents are natural phenomena and those that remain unknown will eventually turn out to be natural phenomena. </p><p>In 1949 a 600 page report on UFOs concluded that all incident reports <i>"were the result of misidentifications, mass hysteria and hoaxes"</i>.</p><p>In 1953 an Intelligence report called for the public to be educated to recognise balloons and meteors, and that <i>"a policy of "debunking" should be introduced to reduce public interest"</i>. <i>"The public is to be only informed of the results of individual cases where "the object is positively identified as a familiar object". "</i></p><p>The 2021 UAP report only identified one incident. <i>"We were able to identify one reported UAP with
high confidence. In that case, we identified the object as a large, deflating balloon."</i></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">Trained observers with instrumentation provide more reliable reports</span></p><p><b>Processes/Beliefs/Agenda:</b> The value of trained observers was recognised in both the 1971 and 2021 reports. It was also recognised by the public. In 1954 airline pilots <i>"were coerced by military intelligence... to agree to not informing the public of their UFO sightings"</i>.</p><p>Control of public awareness of the UFO situation was tightened in 1953 when service personnel were prohibited from discussing UFOs and threatened with 10 years jail and up to a $10,000 fine. </p><p>By erecting a façade of ridicule the US hoped to <i>"allay public alarm"</i> and provide a <i>"cover for the real US programmes developing vehicles that emulated UFO performances"</i>.</p><p>The 1971 report noted that many countries gave credence to the public façade and uncritically accepted information that had been widely discredited by retired US service personnel as well as by scientists.</p><p>The 2021 report noted that there was a 'stigma' associated with reporting UAP incidents. (See UAP Collection Challenges.)</p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;">We need a more scientific approach</span></p><p><b>Processes/Beliefs/Agenda:</b> In 1966 well-publicised Michigan sightings were officially identified as being 'swamp gas' which caused a public outcry. There was a call for a more scientific approach and that university teams should be involved. However this move was discredited when the academic called on to lead the project publicly stated that <i>"my attitude right now is that there's nothing to it, but I 'm not supposed to reach a conclusion for another year"</i>. A memorandum was also revealed outlining a method to trick the public. </p>There have been constant calls for greater scientific involvement however even the 2021 report noted that stigma and "reputational risk" complicates scientific pursuit of the UAP topic. The 2021 report believes that "<i>the effects of these stigmas have
lessened as senior members of the scientific, policy, military, and intelligence
communities engage on the topic seriously in public.</i>"<br /><p><br /></p><p><b>Moving forward...</b></p><p>It's clear that UAP/UFO incidents and studies have a long history coloured by many factors. I'm not really interested in finger pointing. I am interested in processes to move forward and co-create preferred futures.</p><p>UAP/UFO 'Disclosure' as some have noted is a long and complicated process. Some of the beliefs, attitudes and successful management of public perception through the 1940s to 1960s became deeply ingrained in society and culture - and not just in the US.</p><p>It's also clear that through the 1940s to 1960s there were competing processes, beliefs and agenda between and even within government agencies dealing with UFO phenomena. That's probably still true today. </p><p>However while there may be many similarities between the 2021 and 1971 reports we live in a very different world today. As the preliminary June 2021 report notes there is now public engagement by senior members of scientific, policy, military, and intelligence communities.</p><p>Christopher Mellon and others believe there has been <a href="https://www.christophermellon.net/post/the-uap-report-and-the-uap-issue" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">significant progress towards open transparency</a>. </p><p>Over the last couple of decades in parallel to the intelligence/military conversation many credible scientists, academics and investigative journalists have been progressing our understanding of the UAP/UFO issue through a <a href="https://www.exostudies.org/resources/books/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">range of publications</a>. There are even <a href="https://www.exostudies.org/course/12-month-course/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">comprehensive courses on Exo Studies</a>. It's in this space that we find a deeper understanding and conversation of both UAPs/UFOs and related phenomena - including the nature of extraterrestrial intelligences.</p><p>Since 1971, and particularly since 2001, many more ex service personnel and others have credibly spoken out about alleged 'secret projects' in the UAP/UFO space. Much more has potentially been revealed since the 1971 report. It remains to be seen how the next ODNI report will address these complex issues and the long standing competing agenda discussed above.</p><p>Fifty years ago the 1971 Australian Intelligence report hopefully asked for increased transparency that was <i>"scientifically sound and intellectually honest towards unravelling the UFO mystery"</i>. This is now emerging as a multidisciplinary and global conversation.</p>Roger Stackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17964691437986033795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313129214536616391.post-22889901423078190962021-06-27T13:06:00.014+10:002021-07-09T09:53:16.819+10:002021 UAP [Threat] Report<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvsujMOAZ-wr1fvjtTes2oRAAWqBokIYxlPSidXFE05mwFk46SiLrSIOgHC0NNwOpmzYBmJ2HRaCUHBhEDd7flN7uM18iRaRZSEf0pt7lob4RvXXeUNoEnshTGWJoVPTf38scL2XOf7Fw/s1196/small-step.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="760" data-original-width="1196" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvsujMOAZ-wr1fvjtTes2oRAAWqBokIYxlPSidXFE05mwFk46SiLrSIOgHC0NNwOpmzYBmJ2HRaCUHBhEDd7flN7uM18iRaRZSEf0pt7lob4RvXXeUNoEnshTGWJoVPTf38scL2XOf7Fw/w400-h254/small-step.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The 2021 public <a href="https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/Prelimary-Assessment-UAP-20210625.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">USG Preliminary Assessment: UAP Report</a> is actually a <b>UAP Threat Report</b> in that it responds to a USG request "<i>to submit an intelligence assessment of the threat posed by unidentified
aerial phenomena (UAP)</i>".<br /><br />I believe that even though the scope of the report is narrow it represents a significant step in the direction of an open conversation leading to broader government and public understanding of UAPs.<br /><br />Before outlining this significance my summary of the most important findings from this preliminary report is as follows. <br /><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>UAP are real and need to be taken seriously</li><li>Some UAP may pose a risk.

Reputable investigative reporting, quality formal disclosure research/events/documentaries, and advances in academic exo/astro studies and consciousnesses studies over the last few decades have reduced the stigma/taboo/ridicule associated with UAP and related topics.</div></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div><div><br /></div></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div><div>4.

According to <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Edgar-Cayce-Atlantis/dp/0446351024/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Edgar Cayce</a> these destructions occurred approximately 50,000, 30,000 and 12,000 years ago and each involved portions of Atlantis sinking. </div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;">Sometimes it's possible to correlate dates or events obtained through consciousness studies (channelling, hypnosis, remote viewing) to generally accepted geologic dates such as magnetic pole shifts, volcanic activity or ice ages. This is also becoming possible for other planets such as Mars as knowledge in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_geology" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">astrogeology</a> increases. </p></div></blockquote><div><br /><b>2.

Contradictory accounts of an advanced civilisation or a high-tech war in space may be about different though similar events.</div><div><br /></div><div>For example, it's very likely that Lemuria and Atlantis on Earth each went through several cycles of civilisation, and that there were even earlier civilisations. And galactic wars such as the Great Lyran War or the Orion Wars have probably come and gone over millions of years. It's easy to align narratives with the wrong event. </div><div><br /></div><div>In addition, stories obtained through consciousness studies can be referring to different dimensions (frequencies) of existence where experiences can vary considerably. Some very early civilisations described on Earth, Mars and other planets and moons in our solar system are often said to have been existing within dimensions 4, 5 and higher. </div><div><br /></div><div>Accounts of the destruction of a planetary environment (eg Mars) or even the planet itself (eg Maldek - now the asteroid belt) in the 3rd dimension may be experienced very differently within the 4th and 5th dimensions of the same planet.

After some exploration of the topic as part of an <a href="https://www.exostudies.org/course/12-month-course/" target="_blank">Exo Studies course</a> I have a better appreciation for both of the above extremes.</div><br />The study was more about the history and psychology of conspiracy theories (narratives about plans to work secretly together towards an unjust or unlawful objective) than diving into all of the current conspiracy rabbit holes.<br /><br />For me the most interesting points raised during discussion were the following.<br /><ul><li>Conspiracy narratives often surface during periods of rapid change and uncertainty. The old 'normals' no longer apply and clear simple explanations of the causes of change and any new ways of thinking or being are not readily available, or if they are, they are not widely understood.</li></ul><ul><li>It usually takes decades for genuine conspiracies to be uncovered. This can happen through investigative journalism and sources such as whistle-blowers, declassified documents or freedom of information requests. It rarely comes from governments or authorities.</li></ul><ul><li>There is a growing distrust of government and authorities. One reason for this is the blatant disproportionate influence on politics of vested interests. Another is the increasingly obvious bias of mainstream media. Ignoring or denying climate change hasn't helped build trust either.</li></ul><ul><li>Conspiracy narratives can be indicative of different worldviews, their underpinning beliefs and assumptions. Alternative narratives can be embedded in counter cultures where the lived experience of people may be quite different to mainstream culture. Many people leave schools and universities with a reductionistic mechanistic worldview that goes back several centuries.</li></ul><ul><li>Higher levels of education do not necessarily make people less susceptible to either wild conspiracy theories or conspiracy theory denial. Responses to conspiracy theories have more to do with emotional triggers, worldviews or uncomfortable rapid change.</li></ul><ul><li>It's very likely that government authorities and other organisations use the 'conspiracy theory' label to discredit people who know too much or have seen too much. Some organisations probably create sophisticated conspiracy theories as a disinformation strategy. A few conspiracies have probably been created just for fun to 'prove' how gullible people can be.</li></ul><ul><li>Conspiracy theories suggesting elaborate secret collusion are probably more likely to be complicit behaviour driven by personal self-serving agenda such as financial profit. Even diverse self-serving agenda based within similar worldviews may reinforce detrimental consequences and give the illusion of grand scale secret collusion.</li></ul><ul><li>Compelling conspiracy narratives often contain partial truths. People resonate with the partial truth and often assume the rest of the narrative is correct.</li></ul><ul><li>Wild conspiracy theories and conspiracy theory denial can trigger fear or victimhood which then heighten emotional responses and decrease the likelihood of rational discourse.</li></ul><ul><li>Delving into the details of most conspiracy narratives can be very unproductive. A more productive approach is to recognise that there's probably an element of truth to most conspiracy narratives.

Sean Esbjörn-Hargens offers an <a href="https://www.exostudies.org/course/12-month-course/" target="_blank">Exo Studies Master Course</a> that uses a multi-disciplinary approach within a meta-integral framework to explore UFOs and related phenomena.</div><br />For me one of the most powerful lenses to engage with during this course has been that of story - in particular history. <br /><br />Much has been written about advanced civilisations in prehistory and galactic history. For many people however, these writings are assumed to be the stuff of legend, myth, fantasy, science fiction or delusion. This is often because people hold worldviews that exclude any possibility of it being actual history.<br /><br />Presenting strong evidence is not always be an effective way to challenge a worldview. "The eye is blind to what the mind does not see." We hold on to our stories.<br /><br />The Exo Studies multi-disciplinary approach to UFOs seriously challenges such limiting worldviews. In doing so it can shatter existing generally accepted stories that help us to make meaning of our realities and experiences. This can leave one feeling uneasy about what we know. Without coherent stories we can be left floundering in a vast ocean of apparently disconnected evidence.<br /><br />For me as I digested the compelling evidence and began to embrace new perspectives it was important to have new stories that made sense.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://vimeo.com/roger2012" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="709" data-original-width="2385" height="98" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLl7cttVeKVuKSy4TIJpgHaOfAL9_wGKqHAngy2CzQBIxh3kj8QWMiuLAqhhy_f6xQ5-VZq1ZMJLpWnn5f8VU5d9Lt3bV7DZJU4tJNoIDH_jpLKlaeCO_tsv_7MhnIbRv71yGhTPyqfWI/w328-h98/IMG_7245.JPG" width="328" /></a></div><div><br />These <a href="https://vimeo.com/roger2012" target="_blank">short prehistory and galactic history videos</a> focus on some of those new stories. (Actually most of these stories are quite old.) They are an attempt to make meaning of the greatly expanded worldview that UFOs present.<br /><br />In addition I found that the stories themselves were challenging my beliefs and assumptions in ways that sometimes evidence alone didn't. Story has a way of resonating with the heart and body that can be more convincing than evidence in the head. Story can be very powerful, speaking to the deeper or whole being.<br /><br />I find there's a coherency across these histories that begins to build a meaningful meta-story from within an emerging galactic worldview. I believe there's much we can learn from this meta-story that could be applied to current global challenges and the co-creation of preferred futures.</div><div><br /></div><div>For example reflections of events from the Orion Wars, Maldek, Mars, Lemuria and Atlantis appear to be playing out today. They may even be projections from unrecognised and unresolved trauma from the deep past. Some may say "those who are not aware of galactic history are in danger of repeating it" - or perhaps at least being triggered by it.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://vimeo.com/roger2012" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="713" data-original-width="2385" height="98" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCSWHoz-FYCBy7_r_MIY19fLxvqU2Kgn39b5ZrmViozY5DA28l6HuBOaRPBJGTBiBd2PHDj_qVWivmGCUge6qkpydm8VVTwC1YsdCVf8amdcjoTs2a9M3rcFzVypeNjwQaez21f-tli9w/w328-h98/IMG_7243.JPG" width="328" /></a></div><br /><div>Finally, I chose these particular <a href="https://vimeo.com/manage/showcases/7556872" target="_blank">Galactic Histories</a> because there is strong multi-disciplinary evidence that supports the stories.

UFO revelations by the New York Times over the last three years are changing public discourse.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
This week's article '<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/23/us/politics/pentagon-ufo-harry-reid-navy.html" target="_blank">No Longer in Shadows, Pentagon’s U.F.O. Unit</a>...' has well and truly moved the public conversation on from: "Are UFOs real?" We are no longer assuming all UFO reports are about imagination, strange weather phenomenon, psychological projections or tin-hat conspiracy theories.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These are real objects with extraordinary flight paths. For some this is seen as a potential threat as it becomes clear that some 'intelligence' possesses unknown technologies with unheard of capabilities.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For many others it may challenge their dominant worldview - particularly if it has little room for even the possibility of off-world intelligence let alone any visiting our planet.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week's <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/23/us/politics/pentagon-ufo-harry-reid-navy.html" target="_blank">NYT article</a> takes things a step further in reporting that members of the US Congress and staffers, high level Pentagon officials and high level Department of Defence personnel <b><font color="#fcff01">have been briefed on UFO craft retrieval. </font></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The New York Times has a <a href="https://youtu.be/KvOWnhNv-ys" target="_blank">reputation for publishing iron-clad bullet-proof stories</a> that inform national conversations and decision making. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The idea that the <a href="https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/research/a33413777/pentagon-ufo-program-materials-vehicles/" target="_blank">Pentagon has off-world vehicles not made on Earth</a> may not be news to some but it's significant news for the general public.</div><div><br /></div>
<div>
2020 has a reputation for events that challenge societal notions of what is 'normal' and what is 'real'.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Public confirmation of the reality of off-world craft is quickly becoming another unexpected dimension of our global 2020 experience.</div><div><br /></div><div>Hopefully it's one that doesn't take too many people into denial or fear. </div><div><br /></div><div>----------</div><div><br /></div><div>See also <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/28/insider/UFO-reporting.html" target="_blank">Do We Believe in UFOs?

<br />
Today is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_UFO_Day">World UFO Day</a>.<br />
<br />
Why is this noteworthy? Because UFOs are challenging consensus reality now more than at anytime in the last 300 years. The dominant positivistic reductionistic world-views which have blinded particularly westernised societies to a narrow objective reality are being challenged.<br />
<br />
In today's 'post-truth' world people are questioning consensus reality.<br />
<br />
Climate change, the pandemic and UFOs are forcing many people to compare corporate and social media stories against their own lived experience and beliefs.<br />
<br />
The UFO disclosures over the last decade from governments, organisations and individuals have led those who have had direct experiences suggesting the existence of extraterrestrial intelligences to question what is real.<br />
<br />
Many have written about the significant shifts in thinking, beliefs and actions that are occurring this century across a range of domains.<br />
<br />
Joanna Macy refers to the<b> 'Great Turning'</b> in <a href="https://www.activehope.info/great-turning.html" target="_blank">her writings</a>.<br />
<i>"... the Great Turning arises from shifts taking place in our hearts, our minds, and <b>our views of reality.</b>"</i><br />
Others have written about current radical shifts in technologies, paradigms and <a href="https://worldviewjourneys.com/" target="_blank">world-views</a>.<br />
<br />
Deeper questions about what exists or is real are questions of <a href="https://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-ontology-definition-examples.html" target="_blank"><b>ontology</b></a>.<br />
<br />
The Great Turning may now include an <b>'Ontological Turning'</b>. An <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontological_turn" target="_blank">ontological turn</a> "suggests that there are alternate realities and other ways of being that exist in parallel with our own."<br />
<br />
What some are seeing as a dystopian post-truth 'fake news' era full of wild conspiracy theories held by 'others' who have lost touch with reality may be the result of cracks in consensus reality.<br />
<br />
When "<a href="https://whatsupwithufos.com/" target="_blank">too many credible people are saying incredible things</a>" it may be time to move beyond a polarised objective view of the REAL vs the UNREAL. It's too limiting and not very useful to assume that what can't be clearly perceived with the five senses is nonsense or unreal.<br />
<br />
Sean Esbjörn-Hargens in a paper <a href="https://whatsupwithufos.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Exo_Studies.pdf" target="_blank">The Wild Kosmos! An Exo Studies Exploration of the Ontological Status of Non-Human Intelligences</a> suggests it's time to embrace ontological indeterminacy.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sean presents an <b>Ontological Matrix </b>that moves beyond the real-unreal binary.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
This ontological matrix helps us to make sense of <a href="https://whatsupwithufos.com/" target="_blank">UFOs and related phenomena</a> as well as interpret rather than deny the <a href="https://whatsupwithufos.com/category/experience/" target="_blank">direct experiences</a> of a significant proportion of the population. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With UFO disclosures on the increase we need post-material/post-positivist approaches that make room for the weird and wild that are challenging consensual reality.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the current pandemic and in the light of climate change and social justice issues many are questioning the desire to return to 'business as usual'. Some are working towards the deeper transformative systemic changes of Joanna Macy's Great Turning. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
An 'ontological turning' that opens up new perspectives and possibilities through integrative and even galactic world-views may be exactly what we need. We are unlikely to solve problems from within the same thinking that created them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_UFO_Day" target="_blank">World UFO Day</a> is a reminder that things aren't quite as we were led to believe.</div>

<br />
I've been <a href="https://tas-education.org/exo/The-World-2080.pdf" target="_blank">imaging alternative futures</a> in a workshop that's part of an extraordinary online international conference <a href="https://www.wildsbeyondclimatejustice.com/" target="_blank">The Wilds Beyond Climate Justice</a>.<br />
<br />
The collaborative workshop task is to imagine the life of a character who is a second generation descendant living on Earth in 2080.<br />
<br />
My contribution has been informed by my experience in other workshops/events at this conference. For example in the opening 'acknowledgement of country' Ruth Langford spoke of country as the seen and unseen, the subtle and the multidimensional.<br />
<br />
Bayo Akomolafe in A Cartography of Exile spoke of post activism, transfabulation and the importance of offering stories that are alternative to mainstream.<br />
<br />
Daniel Floor in Breathing With the Dead spoke of the importance of the voices of the ancestors both human and non-human.<br />
<br />
Will See and Iyafalola Omobola in Empowering the People spoke of the importance of examining individualism, materialism and the spiritual.<br />
<br />
My contribution has also been strongly influenced by my recent participation in an <a href="https://www.exostudies.org/course/12-month-course/" target="_blank">Exo Studies Master Course</a> with USA academic Sean Esbjörn-Hargens which examined the wilds of UFOs and anomalous phenomenon in the multidimensional universe within a meta-disciplinary framework.<br />
<br />
Needless to say I'm letting my imagination roam freely in the wilds.<br />
And yet there is so much more...<br />
<br />
Exciting times!<br />

Making sense of these extraordinary times is one outcome from an <a href="https://www.exostudies.org/course/12-month-course/" target="_blank">Exo Studies Master Course</a> I just completed.<br />
<br />
While a central focus of this course was UFOs/UAPs/ETs/EDs/NHIs it resulted in new perspectives and 'bigger pictures' for a range of personal and global issues. <br />
<br />
In terms of UFOs it's clear we have known a great deal about this phenomenon for decades. Exploring 'UFO denial' highlights much that is in shadow across society and culture - although perhaps not for much longer.<br />
<br />
The course encouraged me to take a step back, breathe and engage the heart before jumping to conclusions based on outdated habitual thinking.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Underpinning beliefs and assumptions were questioned leading to the transformation of my worldview to accommodate a range of phenomena and experience which previously made little sense.<br />
<br />
I now have a much greater understanding of various agenda playing out on this planet. I find I can more comfortably assess sensational claims, discern disinformation, engage in meaningful discourse and make informed choices.<br />
<br />
This allows me to remain more centered, compassionate and peaceful in these uncertain times. My expanded worldview is both holistic and galactic revealing new possibilities and realities. This helps me to navigate life, brings clarity to my being and doing, and assists in the co-creation of preferred futures.<br />

<br />
I've been focusing on understanding and building sacred relationships. My current understanding of the nature of a sacred relationship is as follows.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<hr />
<br />
Sacred relationships are about experiencing unity with another.<br />
They are about recognising the divine in self and the 'other'.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sacred relationships are about wholehearted love without judgement.<br />
They are about giving and receiving as one.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sacred relationships are relationships with truth rather than illusion.<br />
They are joyful and exist within joy.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sacred relationships exist in Oneness.<br />
You cannot lose something or be separate from something that is one.<br />
<br />
<br />
Making a relationship 'special' creates separation.<br />
This is usually done to make self special, worthy of the love of someone called special.<br />
<br />
<br />
Love is infinite, there is no need to ration it.<br />
To claim to love someone more than anyone else is to love others less - to withhold love.<br />
<br />
<br />
Making a relationship 'special' creates expectations and builds a relationship with illusion. <br />
This blinds us to the full grandeur of another.<br />
<br />
<br />
'Special' relationships lead to conditional love and fear.<br />
Fear of loss of love, fear of separation, fear of loneliness.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sacred relationships are a dance with the divine.<br />
The divine feminine and masculine dance within self and within relationships.<br />
<br />
<br />
The divine feminine is loving, compassionate, confident and powerful.<br />
The divine masculine is loving, compassionate, confident and powerful.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sacred relationships open a divine space for mutual healing and awakening.<br />
Divine energies flow with shared trust, wisdom and love.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sacred relationships are about being fully present in shared moments.<br />
They are a safe haven for an intimate embracing of the Now.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sacred relationships nurture opportunities for divine service.<br />
The co-creation of collaborative service with others.<br />
<br />
<br />
Every relationship is sacred. Every human is sovereign.<br />
Every relationship is an adventurous journey in love and wholeness. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Act Local, Think Global, Be Cosmic!</i></span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These are my reflections and possible next steps having recently completed an <a href="https://www.exostudies.org/course/12-month-course/" target="_blank">Exo Studies Master Course</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>"Exo studies is the metadisciplinary study of all the anomalous phenomena that lie outside our current models of explanation and views of reality."</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
Topics included ETs (extra-terriestials), EDs (extra-dimensionals), UFO/UAPs (unidentified flying objects/unidentified aerial phenomenon), consciousness studies, conspiracy theories, disinformation, and <a href="https://www.exostudies.org/course/9-month-course/" target="_blank">much more</a>.<br />
<br />
<h3>
How has my thinking/worldview changed?</h3>
</div>
<div>
Although my dominant worldview coming into this course could be described as holistic/integral and within which parapsychology, advanced prehistorical civilisations and celestial intelligences were accommodated, ETs represented a gaping hole in my knowledge and understanding of the bigger cosmic picture.</div>
<div>
<br />
I now believe that a more holistic and galactic worldview will be essential in navigating the 2020s. Exo Studies topics help to make sense of these turbulent times by encouraging one to step back, look for new perspectives and embrace multidisciplinary approaches.</div>
<div>
<br />
The course provided me with a deeper understanding of the limitations and potentials of integral frameworks when engaging in critical and open thinking, and navigating weirdness. It created a safe space for considering multiple perspectives and possibilities, rather than jumping to answers or falling back on old beliefs.<br />
<br />
<h3>
What were my favorite topics? </h3>
All topics in the Exo Studies Course were intrinsically interesting as was the process of exploring links between topics and bigger picture frameworks. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was also able to link topics to areas I had previously studied such as transpersonal psychology, integral theory, parapsychology, advanced prehistorical civilisations and spirituality. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For me galactic history, ET/ED diversity, galactic agenda and exopolitics were some of my favourite topics. This is probably because I believe they lead to larger contexts and understandings that are directly relevant to contemporary global challenges and the conscious evolution of humanity.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="http://tas-education.org/exo/Galactic-Human-Journey.pdf" target="_blank">Galactic humanoid history</a> in particular integrates well with my understanding of Earth's long <a href="https://vimeo.com/298116549/538e9e2ece" target="_blank">prehistory of advanced civilisations</a>.<br />
<br />
<h3>
What would I like to see more of? </h3>
I believe the important topic of our time is the evolution of human consciousness. This involves the evolution of Earth/Gaia and its web of life. The evolution of human consciousness necessarily involves the journey of the galactic human family.<br />
<br />
A great deal has been written about the great awakening, systemic transformation, Christ/Buddha consciousness, end/beginning times, cosmic cycles of growth, enlightenment, the divine feminine/masculine and 'ascension'.<br />
<br />
In fact the very existence of the Exo Studies Course could be seen as an expression of the evolution of human consciousness.<br />
<br />
<h3>
What are my biggest takeaways from the course?</h3>
<ul>
<li>It's possible to make sense of many apparently weird Exo Studies topics rationally, emotionally and spiritually within larger frameworks.</li>
<li>You can always question even your most cherished beliefs and assumptions.</li>
<li>There's some truth in most Exo Studies related stories although they are best held lightly.</li>
<li>Emergent and emerging thinking across 21st century disciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary fields is very different from the past. For example new thinking in cosmology, ecology, physics, consciousness studies increasingly takes post-positivistic approaches.</li>
<li>My own inner guidance/resonance is a reliable pointer in navigating Exo Studies related topics.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.exostudies.org/" target="_blank">Sean Esbjörn-Hargens</a> brought credibility to exo studies - as did many of the course's participants.</li>
<li>I strongly support grounded compassionate inquiry.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3>
What are my next steps?</h3>
Over the last few years my learning has been focused on conscious evolution, understanding challenging global issues and <a href="https://taspoly.blogspot.com/2020/03/sacred-relationships.html" target="_blank">building sacred relationships</a>. I've been a frequent visitor to <a href="http://gaia.com/">Gaia.com</a> and have done some courses including <a href="https://charleseisenstein.org/courses/metaphysics-mystery/" target="_blank">Metaphysics and Mystery</a>, <a href="https://acim.org/" target="_blank">A Course in Miracles</a> and <a href="https://acourseoflove.org/" target="_blank">A Course of Love</a>.<br />
<br />
During the Exo Studies Course I've also been involved in visioning processes to explore possible directions for what <a href="https://taspoly.blogspot.com/2019/12/2020-vision.html" target="_blank">I believe will be an historic next decade</a>. The following graphic indicates some of the passions/drivers moving me forward.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
As this course closes I find I'm now asking myself <a href="https://taspoly.blogspot.com/2020/02/our-post-disclosure-world.html" target="_blank">new questions related to ETs and EDs</a>.<br />
<br />
I also notice I’m much more comfortable responding to Exo Studies related questions from friends within a context of helping people make sense of their own experiences - internal and external.<br />
<br />
I've found that <a href="http://www.lyssaroyal.net/card-decks.html" target="_blank">Lyssa Royal's Galactic Heritage Cards</a> are a very comfortable and fun entry to deeper conversations related to personal and global issues with links to many Exo Studies topics. The new <a href="https://whatsupwithufos.com/" target="_blank">What's Up With UFOs</a> website will provide a fantastic resource for those who want a deeper dive.<br />
<br />
If it takes a village to raise a child, perhaps it takes a planet to raise an adult, and a galaxy to raise humanity.<br />
<br />
Moving forward I'm becoming more interested in exploring decision making and co-creation within a multidimensional holistic/galactic worldview.<br />
<br />
I'm interested in holistic/integral education and the potential of immersive virtual worlds to provide opportunities to inhabit an holistic/galactic worldview.<br />
<br />
For me the bigger picture involves the move of Earth/Gaia and humanity to 4D/5D.<br />
<br />
In what ways can we thrive and not just survive the 2020s?<br />
